Persuade someone to believe or act
To make someone believe something is true or agree to do it.
Padron ng paggamit:
to convince [someone] [that/to do something]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse 'convince' with 'persuade'. Use 'convince' with 'that' for beliefs and 'to' for actions, e.g., 'convince him that it is safe' vs. 'convince him to try it'.
Mga kasingkahulugan
persuade (Very close in meaning; 'persuade' often focuses more on influencing action, while 'convince' can also focus on belief.)
Mga kasalungat
dissuade (Means to persuade someone not to do something, the opposite of convincing them to do it.)
